Most other franchisors charge a franchise fee that can total from $30,000 all the way up to $80,000, but Laura’s Maids’ franchise fee is only $7,900 and includes the price for your base territory. Our franchise fee is so low because we deal directly with you rather than using sub-franchisors and commissioned business consultants. In addition to our low fee we also offer a veterans discount and/or special incentives if you’re already in the residential cleaning business.

At Laura’s Maids, we think you should be the one who decides where and when you spend your marketing dollars. Laura’s Maids charges a modest one percent (1%) national marketing fee that is directed towards online website marketing. Most other franchises charge a full two percent (2%) or more of gross sales for national marketing, which brings your ongoing fees to nearly 10 percent (10%) of your gross sales.

Simply put, we’re better! Laura’s Maids is still at the size where you can work with the founders as you grow your home cleaning franchise. We have the highest support to franchisee ratio in our industry. Don’t even think of getting that sort of personal attention from a franchisor with hundreds of franchisees. It’s not our goal to have the most franchisees. We want fewer, larger franchisees that we can work with on a personal level.

Laura’s Maids has the most creative and effective marketing materials in the industry. And, we don’t force you to spend a pre-defined amount of money on marketing nor do we force you to purchase marketing from us or any particular vendor.

What Laura’s Maids does is allows you to manage most of your marketing needs through our exclusive intranet site – it takes just minutes to send a direct mail piece to a demographically targeted list, place pre-printed inserts in your local newspaper or order marketing materials like magnets or car wraps. You can choose from our seasonally updated print materials, or take advantage of our graphic design resources for special projects.

We utilize dedicated, in-house experts to incorporate local search engine optimization (SEO) into our content marketing strategy to drive traffic to franchisees’ local webpages so that their cleaning franchise will be visible in consumers’ online searches. Laura’s Maids is a leader in digital marketing including pay per click management, directory management and other on-page and off-page strategies.

Additionally, our dedicated marketing consultants and analysts can you help you take a deeper dive into your territory and provide you with a marketing analysis to identify a marketing plan best suited for your area and benchmark your results across the franchise community in order to continuously improve your marketing ROI.

In-depth Laura’s Maids software allows franchisees to manage online advertising campaigns and compare results with the rest of the Laura’s Maids community. Other marketing includes videos, radio and TV spots, banner advertisements and sponsorship programs, just to name a few of the things Laura’s Maids supplies for marketing success.

Laura’s Maids offers every franchisee a multi-week extensive training program that consists of the right mix of at-home training along with hands-on and classroom training right in the Laura’s Maids headquarters. After completion of this program you will feel confident opening the doors of your home cleaning franchise. But our training and support doesn’t stop there – you will be assigned to a dedicated “start-up” coach during this training period and for your first months while your office opens. You will also have a set of specialists at your disposal, including the founders, who will begin working with you even before you sign a franchise agreement.

Laura’s Maids offers you personal attention unmatched in our industry. In fact, it’s unmatched in most of the franchise world. To that end, there is no “one” way to get support. Certainly you can pick up the phone and call whenever you’d like, but there are also webinars, conventions, online training materials, peer to peer calls and meetings as well as email and IM for those quick questions.

We focus on what’s important. Other franchisors spend time selling products and uniforms. Not only does this take their focus away from what they should be doing, it costs you more because they must build in their cost of delivering these ancillary services. At Laura’s Maids, we focus on helping you succeed – and fast. Our Start-Up Consultants help you to get your business up and running in record time. Your dedicated Marketing Consultant helps build customized marketing plans to your territory and makes unique recommendations based on your business’ needs. The Laura’s Maids Online Marketing Consultant helps you to get your phone ringing with qualified sales leads and – more importantly – helps you to keep the phone ringing over time so your cleaning service business grows. Even the founders pitch in and actively serve as a Laura’s Maids business coach, meaning you always have direct access to the people who helped to start Laura’s Maids and make it the great success it is today.

By design, Laura’s Maids is the most flexible franchisor in the industry. Make no mistake – this freedom is an integral part of our strategy. Not only have we found this to increase owner satisfaction, it helps give us a competitive edge in each of the local markets we serve. But do understand, there are a number of business processes that are locked down, and for good reason. What we don’t do is make requirements for the sake of making requirements.

At Laura’s Maids we don’t have pre-built territories. We talk with each of our franchisees personally and create an exclusive territory that will help meet their business goals. Along with a detailed review of demographic data in your area, we listen to you about the local nuances. Only after much back and forth do we lock down a territory that fits your objectives.

Most franchisors require you to have an automobile for each team. This just doesn’t make good business sense to us. We know just how costly it can be overseeing a fleet of vehicles if it’s not right for your territory. Again, here is where Laura’s Maids is more flexible; we only require one company vehicle per office and let you decide if it’s in your best interest to purchase more. We make recommendations and let you decide on the rest.

To be honest, we feel it’s a waste of our time and your money. We would never waste our franchisees’ money becoming a retailor to them. Our goal is to stay focused on improving our systems and support, not building additional revenue streams.

Laura’s Maids offers a complete business management software solution that gives you the power to run your house cleaning business effectively and easily. The software handles estimates and quoting, scheduling, billing, payroll and much more.

Our software is built in the “cloud” and requires nothing to be installed at your office. You can access our software from an iphone, ipad, Droid, MAC or PC. You can log in from your home, office or while on vacation. It’s so easy to use, we can teach it to you in a day.

But software is only as good as those who use it. Microsoft Word won’t make you a great writer and Adobe Illustrator won’t make you a great graphic designer. What Laura’s Maids is particularly good at is teaching you how to use the software to optimize your business. Our Helpdesk and Cloud support team is amazing. And, if needed, we have videos and other training tools so you and your staff can learn in the comfort of your home.

A qualified household is a household with characteristics that have a proven likelihood of using housecleaning services. In general, a household is qualified if the household income is greater than $75,000 per year.

We are headquartered in Houston, TX. Being located in Texas, we have access to the most highly trained software developers and marketing experts in the country. Many of the country’s top universities are only blocks away from our office. This location means an extraordinary pool of talent and resources are available to us – all to better assist you.

Laura’s Maids is Franchisee Friendly

Our franchise agreement shows why we are known as a franchisee friendly company. Here are few examples of how we have earned this reputation: we give you the freedom to spend as much or as little as you want on marketing your business by not requiring a specific dollar amount to be spent each month, you have the freedom to use the cleaning products you prefer, and royalty payments are only made once a month unlike other companies who require you to pay royalties weekly. We would rather you focus your time on providing excellent service and an enjoyable work environment hassle of weekly payments. There are hundreds of these little rules and regulations other franchisors seem to love. Not only do we hate them, we think they squander the entrepreneurial spirit.

A Recession Proof Industry

The home cleaning industry is easily overlooked by most people, and is not typically an industry that comes to mind when choosing to start a business. Are you still skeptical? We did some research on the industry and our findings will make you a believer. According to a report by American Demographics, the number of households turning to outside help with their house cleaning chores was estimated at about ten percent (10%). This number includes households that ranged from one-time, move-in, move-out or spring cleanings as well as those who had their homes cleaned on a regularly scheduled basis throughout the year.

In addition to the business model, the industry trends look extremely promising well into the future. Freedonia Group, a market research firm, reports that the U.S. commercial and residential cleaning service industry is a $53.6 billion industry forecasted to continuously grow 4.5 percent (4.5%) annually. Couple that with Laura’s Maids’ proven systems and success is really only a question of your own hard work and dedication to the business.

The market for home cleaning franchise services is still largely untapped, leaving considerable opportunity for new franchisees to be part of this growing market. Customers utilizing home cleaning services tend to use them weekly or every other week. As a Laura’s Maids franchisee, you need only to supply great service and your services will continuously be needed, providing you with a steady flow of income. And, since most customers pay at the time of service, you don’t have to sit around and wait for invoices to be paid.

Studies have shown that a franchise is more likely to stay in business than an independently owned business. A branded name with proven systems help the franchise stay in business longer and with more strength. By becoming part of a franchise, you have the advantage of increased visibility in the marketplace, the power of group marketing and the support of a dedicated team of people.

As part of Laura’s Maids and a home cleaning franchise, you maintain control over your life – you are your own boss and you maintain your own hours. Additionally, since you are not required to maintain a large inventory or buildout an expensive retail location, a home cleaning franchise is one of the lowest cost businesses you can open today! With lower costs to begin your business, a path to business ownership is closer than most people think.
